The method el' making; thel brush, ln'iel'ly, is esr follows: .lntothe seid inner ferrule or bend 6, which may be ol', any suitable configuration according; to the kind ot brush which it isdesired to meke,lsteck u, suflieient quantity el bristles, fibers, .hu-irs, or the like, leaving theknot-end of the bunch of bristles extending troniv thel ferrule. -This knot end is thendipped into. e soitfrubber cement for cernentingr together the ends ot the :tbersor bristles.V This liquid ceinentisz lution adapted for the purpose of vulczniimftion and producing e herd-rubbers@ knot in which the ends oi' the bristles irre to be lirnily embedded. yAlter theknot has thus been softfrubber-,dipped the inner 'ferrule or bend 6 is slip peddown. over the trent-ed knot formed bythe united bristle ends, therebyv sufliciently eoinpressingrthe soft mess; and producing s .compressed end solid soft-ruber-dipped knot. Some ot the soft-rubber cement will be forced into the perforzrtions or openings 7 of the `ferrule 6, as sl'iown, in Figs. 2, 3, end rolf the drawings, completely filling up. seidA perforstions. The rnetzrl-bsnd solitrubber-dipped .knot of the bunch .4 is then placed upon a. stesin or other hosted table sind vulcanized, .thus forming ,e herd knot in which the end'sof the bristles nre set and the vulcanized and herd rubber contained in the of the ferrule 6 prfrvirlingeJ positive reteining'nieans for seourely retaining the knot Within the inner ferruleorbend 6, es Will .be clearly evident.
